The image on the homepage, which you can see below, shows off iconic characters from a number of franchises that have appeared on Sony's console over the years, while clicking on other areas of the site unveils even more.

Alongside the new layout and images, a statement on the site reads, "Over the past several years, we've worked tirelessly to re-define the way people access and play video games. We developed amazing streaming technology, assembled an accomplished management team, and built the world's most widespread cloud gaming network.

"And while we think all of that is pretty cool, we're not done yet. As a new member of the Sony Computer Entertainment family, we're working even harder to ensure the world's best entertainment content is delivered instantly to you, no matter where you are in the world."

Sony has previously voiced its support for backwards compatibility, and we've speculated about how Gaikai could be the means through which the company could make all its old franchises available through streaming.
